Shades of White

This is Day 18 of the 2017 edition of the 20 Days of Chill writing challenge hosted by P. J. at A ‘lil HooHaa. Today's prompt is White. Please visit the other participants for more adventures.Here we have hubby's new-to-him Odyssey, which he got last August after an unfortunate incident totaled his Accord. In the five months we've had the van, it has been to Blowing Rock, Shelby, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida and Myrtle Beach. Needless to say, we are pleased with our new travel car. He calls it his mom car, and I say it is his mid-life crisis fail.

The first snowfall of 2017. So beautiful and pristine, and so cold that day. Not a good day to drop by and discover there was no heat in the house. Fortunately it's not our primary residence (yet). Turns out there was no oil in the tank. Thankfully, we have a great oil company and they delivered within the hour. I was also thankful for an electric heater while we waited.

The last rose of summer. Such a pretty lady, so white against the green backdrop. I did tinker with it a bit to make her stand out.

I just sold my Odyssey last April for a white Jeep. Loved that van, but with all the kids grown, it was time to move on, although I could have used it awhile longer. A wire shorted that controlled all of the seat belts on the passenger side. To replace it was almost the same price it was worth. Time to get a new car.

We have always had a designated travel car. Usually mine because hubby commuted to work and needed a more economical car. Now we have his van and my SUV. As to where it's going next, nothing planned at the moment.
